When patching your game, you need to overwrite everything. Skipping or renaming doesn't work.

Ready for another Ironforge BOTM?

Here's how this works. Every participant creates a bot that follows the given bot restrictions for that month. They then create a simple splash for their bot and uploaded it to GTM's BOTM Uploader before the deadline expires. After the deadline expires, a poll will be created for the community to vote on their favorite entry. At the end of the month, the splash with the most votes will be put on GTM's homepage for a month.

Bot Restrictions
  • Ironforge TC 1.0
  • Standard (or IRL if you want to go a step further)
  • LW (up to 125.0kg)
  • No cheatbot2, hidden, or custom components
  • No BFE, AAM, HAX mode, Zero glitch, etc.

Splash Rules
  • Entries must be uploaded using the BOTM Uploader.
  • One bot per splash.
  • One splash per member.
  • Please do not put anything in that identifies you as the creator. Credit will be given after the poll to reduce bias and give people a chance to guess who made what.
  • There must be at least one image of the insides in the splash.
  • The weight must be given in the splash.
  • Images must be either JPG, PNG, or GIF.
  • Images must be no wider than 700px and no taller than 800px.
  • Entries must be in by February 25, 2014 at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time (GMT - 6:00) so that we can spend the rest of the month voting.

Unfortunately, it looks like signups for this BOTM have closed. Please check out the Bot of the Month board for one that is still active.

Everything seems to be working.

The "this webpage is not available" message usually implies that there is an issue on the client side. Does it still appear to be broken for you?

Ok, predictions. Maku is 8 because of hentai, idk. 6 is 090901 for sure, 2 is actually the contents of my latrine and is clearly playzooki material, 7 seems like something from the beetlebros but i dont know, 3 seems like helloface, but christ knows if i am right. #1 gets my vote.
Or not because somehow i misclicked #8. Being able to remove my vote would be useful right now.
Oops, missed a checkbox. You should be able to change your vote now.

There are no rules that say you have to have batteries but remember to include the a screenshot of the internals in your splash.

Only two days left before the poll. You haven't started your entry yet, you should definitely be thinking about it.

Welcome to GTM, javert. You should consider creating an account. There are lots of advantages to becoming a member like tournaments and contests.

No, you did nothing wrong. The forum software thought your account looked suspicious so it was waiting for me to approve it. Thanks for your patience. I went ahead and approved your account so you should be good to go now.

It maybe the line of code saying weapons has incorrect values and it is using something in the back as the weapon. Download notepad ++ and see what the values in weapons are corresponding with your bot.
The position of the weapons listed doesn't impact the movement of the bot. The list of weapon IDs is used for switching tactics after running out of weapons. Sadly, we don't use them for much else and many AI.py files have broken implementations (meaning the bot doesn't switch tactics even though there is code for it to do so).

As Lemonism pointed out, Apanx's Bot Exporter is handy for checking component IDs but you could do it manually by counting from top to bottom the components (the IDs go in order). The component ID of the chassis is 0.

It sounds like your LeftRight control is wired backwards.

I played this game on my XBOX One over Christmas. It was pretty fun.

I think its about time that we have a stock BOTM.

Here's how this works. Every participant creates a bot that follows the given bot restrictions for that month. They then create a simple splash for their bot and uploaded it to GTM's BOTM Uploader before the deadline expires. After the deadline expires, a poll will be created for the community to vote on their favorite entry. At the end of the month, the splash with the most votes will be put on GTM's homepage for a month.

Bot Restrictions
  • Stock 1.4
  • Unrealistic (or any form of realism that you want to adhere to)
  • LW (up to 249.0kg)
  • AI/Hidden components are allowed.
  • No cheatbot2 or custom components
  • No BFE, AAM, HAX mode, Zero glitch, etc.

Splash Rules
  • Entries must be uploaded using the BOTM Uploader.
  • One bot per splash.
  • One splash per member.
  • Please do not put anything in that identifies you as the creator. Credit will be given after the poll to reduce bias and give people a chance to guess who made what.
  • There must be at least one image of the insides in the splash.
  • The weight must be given in the splash.
  • Images must be either JPG, PNG, or GIF.
  • Images must be no wider than 700px and no taller than 800px.
  • Entries must be in by January 26, 2014 at 11:59 PM Central Standard Time (GMT - 6:00) so that we can spend the rest of the month voting.

Please upload your entries using the BOTM Uploader.

Wordpad is what is known as a word processor. Its good for formatting documents that look good for humans. What you see on screen does not necessarily reflect the contents of the file.

Notepad is a text editor. It doesn't allow for any text formatting but that is exactly what you need when programming because things like italics generally don't mean anything to a compiler or interpreter. When you open a file in a text editor, you are viewing exactly whats in the file.

Neither Notepad nor Wordpad support all of the characters found in a bot file so you'll need to find one that does since the bot file contains TGA data for the skin and preview image. Most of the people here use Notepad++ but there are plenty of other options if you can't get it to work.

That said, you shouldn't get any error if you install Notepad++ by downloading and extracting the ZIP instead of the executable.

Sorry for the delay. I've been kind of busy the last few days so I wasn't able to put this out as early as I had hoped. I pushed the deadline for the poll back so that you'll still have roughly 5 days of voting.

#1 playzooki


#2 Thrackerzod

For anyone who is still holding out, there is less than a week left before the poll starts.
